The Scout has been one of our more overlooked bikes in our line. People are now just starting to catch on to how fun and capable this little bike is and now it’s available in carbon. Touting all the great features and geometry of the aluminium Scout with a large reduction in weight and no compromise in strength.
Scout Carbon: Pretty much the same, but different
The carbon front triangle, seatstays and chainstays provide an amazingly playful feel on the trail or playground. Featuring the same dialed geometry and GiddyUp suspension as the alloy version, the carbon Scout is even better at turning trails into playgrounds. The fully guided internal cable routing for rear brake and derailleur are easy to use and rattle free. The collet main pivot keeps the rear end stiff and the threaded bottom bracket is a mechanics dream. All with around a 600 gram weight savings over the aluminium Scout.

Now that is an awesome vid' and a great looking bike!
Not sure what that is going to cost but it looks like a winner and more than capable. Show you don't need to get into an arms race about the length of your suspension and you shouldn't feel inadequate if you're not in the 160 club and only pack 140 / 5".
